To all 'whom/vit may concern.'

-Be it known that I, Josnri-I SOHNEIBLE, a citiien of the United States,residing at 130 North Wells St., Chicago, in the countyoi l Uo'ok andState of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement inCondensers, of which the following is a specification. W

vMy invention relates to an improvement in'athe class of condensers suchas are employed in the art of distillation.

TheJ lprimary object of my invention is t1. provide a construction ofcondenser whenr by the vapors to be condensed shall bc caused, in theircourse through the device, to have thorough and prolonged intimate contact with the cooling,r medium..

In the acJ mpanylng drawings, Figure l is a broken in vertical sectionalelcvution of a condeor embodying my inven tion; Fig. 2 is a planyiew andFig. 3 is a view in elevation of thcame.

The body or casing of the condenser is preferably but not necessarilybilt of a desired number of annular section 1, shown of preferredcylindrical form and each being provided about its u per end with aflange 5. The flange is o y general V-shape in cross-section andprojects beyond the upper end of the section to adapt the sections tolap or interfit one a ainswtkthe other within the confines of the ange,as shown; and the sections are shown to be held together by acoupling-medium, of which only one is represented in Fig. 1,.though aplurality thereof are used about the' structure in practice. Thiscoupling medium is a bolt-rod 6 carryin nuts on its opposite ends,against which a ut hooks 7 on sleeves 8 slidably surroundin the rod. Onehook engages the out one section@ in the assembly of sections, andtheother hook en ages the flange on another section; and afgter being thusengaged, by tightening either or both of the nuts the coupled sectionsare tightly drawn together.

An annular baille-plate, or balde-ring 9 extends from theinner wall ofeach section in doWnwardlyQinclined direction toward the center. Beloweach baille 9, except the lowormost, are rigid guide-venes l0 risin incircular series from a concavo-convex de ector-plate, withswhich theyare inte al; and alternate vanesire rigidly fastene at their inneruppercQrner-portions to the bailie by clips 11 bolted through bosses 12on the Letterratent- Patented Feb. 1, 1921.

vanes to suspend the vane-anddeector plate structure on the ballle-ring.A condenser-coil 15 is supported to extend in the interior 4ofeachsection 4 about the annular space in the baiilering 9 below it. Theterminals of the coils lead through stuing-box and ,gland devices ofordinary construction shown to be provided at corresponding points onthe successive casing-sections 4, and the outlet-end of the uppermostcoil is connected with the inlet-end of the next lower coil by an elbowor return-bend 16; and so on throughout the series of coils, to renderthem intercommunicatin The cooling medium employer?, which may be coldwater, brine or other medium, flou downwardly through the series ofcoils and is thus circulated throu h the interior of the,oxidensercasing, and t le vapors to be condeiised risc therein. Inrising, the vapors lirst encounter the lowermost baille-ring, and.passing through the latter they circulate about the adjacent coil 15and are spread by the adjacent deflector plate 13, whence they passthrough the varies 10 immediately above it, which tend to spread them intheir course and enhance the cooling influence thereon of the next coil;and from these vanes the vapors seek their outlet through the nexthigher annular baille and proceed to contact with tl t nextcooling-coil, whence they are deflected o enter the uppermost series ofvaries to hda in brought into contact with the final coilbeforedischarging from the condenser to a suitable receptacle (not shown).

I realize that copsiderable variation is possible in the detai ofconstruction thus specifically shown an described and I do not intend byillustratin n single s ecific or referred embodiment o my invention tobe mited thereto, my intentiongbeing in the followin claims to claimprotection for all the nove ty there may be in my invention as broadlyas the state of the art wil! permit I claim:

l. A condenser comprising a easing provided internally with abaille-ringe cooling coil supported above said ring, and a deector-plateabove said coil of renter diameter than the diameter of the ba e-ringopening and overlap ing said opening.

2. A con enser comprising a casing provided internally with abaille-ring, a cooling-y eoil supported above said ring, a deeetorplateabove said coil and series of idevanes between the defiector-plpte undale ring.

3. A condenser comprising a casln r rovided internally with a series ofsgaoe Kellie-ringe, a cooling-coil above each utilering and extendingabout the opening therein, a deilcctor-plate above each coll andguidewines between each deflector-plate and baille-ring.

4. A condenser comprising u. casing formed of a series o*c annulnrsections, bafflerings at intervals inthe casing-Sections, de-Hector-'plates nbove the buffle-rings, guide' vaines extending betweensaid plates and rings, and cooling-coils suported inthe oasing-sectionsbetween said rings and plates.

5. A condenser comprising :i casing formed of a eeries of annularsections, bam@ rine at intervals in the canin -sections and inc iningdownwardly tower the centers thereof, deector-plates above thebaillerings, guide-vanos extending between said plates and rings, andintercomniunicating cooling-coils supported in the casing-sectionsbetween said ringe and plates.

6. A eondenser compriing u casing formed (if a, series of annularsections, baille rings at intervals in the casing-Sections,deflector-plntes'nbove the baille-rin guidevanes extending between saidpates n'nd rings, coolingcoils supported in the casingsections betweensaid rings and plates, und return-bonds connecting the coils insuccession externally of the cnsin JOSEPH SHNEIBLE.
